The first attempt to create a marines was made in the middle of the XVII century, when Smooth armies were formed as part of the Russian army. The soldiers, who had their own ships at their disposal, were to take part in the struggle for access to the Baltic, Azov and Black Seas.

Now this date is celebrated as a professional holiday of the Russian marines. In the shortest possible time, the young Russian Empire formed large units of naval soldiers, who soon took part in the wars with Sweden.

The actions of the Soviet marines left a noticeable mark on stories. During the war, she performed several large naval landings, participated in the defense and liberation of large cities.
